because it's mounted to /var/lib/fai on the client to be installed. > 2. *where* do I need to put the files to be copied by fcopy? In $FAI/files, just as you were expecting. > in the script of my class, I have > fcopy -i -v -s /data/fai/config/files/ /root/.ssh/authorized_keys > > ( to avoid the confusion from #1 above)... Actually, you are creating the confusion you want to avoid :-). It seems to be quite common in the IT world that things that "just work" stop just working when people start "fixing things" in anticipation of a problem :-). As Dirk suggested, leave out the -s option, and you should be fine. In case it's not obvious, if the *script* containing the fcopy command (under $FAI/scripts) is found, it is more than likely that the referenced files (under $FAI/files) will be found, too. > [...] > But I do have the file :) > (on my fai-server...) find /data/fai/config/files/root/ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yes, but the script is not run on the FAI server. On the *client*, fai-server:/data/fai/config is mounted to /var/lib/fai/config, so that's where you'll find the files. Hope that helps. Regards, Holger
